  2. I never thought that pentagram also hold so much importance that it is considered to be symbol of health, wisdom, and of light. The five points symbolizes the elements of earth, which is again an amazing fact. The astonishing fact related to this is that the same symbol can become the symbol of devil, if it is turned around those two points. Unbelievable!

    • I believe The Star is actually the image God speaks of in the Holy Bible (around Gen6 ) as of creating man in the image of him is how I understand it; turning satanic when the point becomes reversed. (the fallen angel and followers. Man is the image of the star.
